Dates and Rates

With few exceptions (see Additional Charges), our tuition is all-inclusive. This includes all meals and snacks, weekly laundry service, and all activities except certain elective Upper and Upper Middle Campus trips (campers aged 13-15).

A $1,000 deposit is due with the camper application. This deposit is applied to the tuition and is non-refundable after January 1st. The next installment of 50% of tuition balance is due no later than March 1st. The remaining tuition balance, plus any extra fees, is due no later than May 1st.

Parents will receive a statement detailing all charges and payments received at the end of August.

Transportation (2024 Rates)

Parents are responsible for arranging transportation to and from camp. For your convenience, Agawam offers chaperoned transportation at an additional cost.

Miscellaneous Charges

To minimize additional charges, a $300 deposit will be added to tuition to fund each camper's Personal Account, used to pay for the following:

• • Book Fair purchases
  • Charges at the camp store (which stocks necessities such as writing pads, pencils, pens, stamps, envelopes, toothbrushes and toothpaste, deodorant, batteries, postcards, etc.)
  • Charges for longer trips such as Acadia, Allagash Canoe Trip, Rangeley Lakes, Mt. Katahdin and Mt. Washington, Imp/Carter, Moosehead
  • Eyeglass repair
  • Tennis racket restringing
  • Postage for packages mailed home
  • Shipping luggage at the end of camp

A full accounting of such expenses is provided at the end of the camp season, and any money not spent will be refunded.

If enrollment is cancelled after January 1, the $1,000 deposit will not be refunded.

During the summer, if a camper leaves camp by mutual agreement with the camp director for health or adjustment reasons, tuition will be returned on a pro-rated basis.

If a camper leaves of his own choice, or for failing to follow camp rules, no refund of his tuition will be made.

The Senior Club summer is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for former Agawam campers who have completed their 15-year-old summer. Intended to bridge the gap between camper and counselor, the program combines the best elements of the camper experience with essential learning and staff training needed to become a strong, capable Camp Agawam counselor. At the end of their Senior Club summer, boys will have gained experience in cabin counseling and teaching; strengthened their leadership and work ethic; and been given the opportunity to earn valuable certifications such as lifeguarding and wilderness first aid.
